Who’s The Boss?
Listen Now:
“We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.” –Benjamin Franklin
As we saw on Thursday night’s third episode of The Office, power-sharing in an office, especially a small office such as Dunder Mifflin, can have some unexpected but serious consequences. Whether the decision was small (Dwight’s expense reports) or large (company-wide CoLA raises), Michael and Jim were having some growing pains getting on the same page. Is there hope for this partnership?
For answers to this and other questions, I am joined on this episode of HR Watches The Office by Katherine Crowley of K2 Enterprises. Katherine is a psychotherapist and expert in interpersonal issues that arise from people working together in office settings. She has previously appeared on this podcast to discuss Michael Scott, and we continue to discuss his mindset on this episode. Katherine’s new book, “Working For You Isn’t Working For Me” is a great read, whether your boss is a Michael or a Jim.
We’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments section!
Matt
